TMJ (jaw) and clenching

TMJ (jaw) and clenching

Often associated with stress and cervical / upper thoracic problems. Treatment includes acupuncture, neck mobilisations, massage to muscles associated with the TMJ and exercises, encouraging correct opening and closing of the jaw. Very often a mouthguard is advised, as patients often clench or grind their teeth at night.
